I am not seeing that. What I have read is that when Jordan proposed temporarily expanding until some date (opinions differ), the role of the Speaker pro tempore's powers, to allow for re-opening the House and introducing legislation that he did not have the support for that either from fellow Republicans. As a result he will call his opponents to discuss how to move forward (such a non-statement).

It sounds like they would need Democratic support for any proposal as there is nowhere near enough Republican support. And the idea of crossing the aisle is the third rail of the Freedom Caucus.
